“When Prime Minister-elect Anthony Albanese announced on 21 May 2022 that the Labor government would organise a referendum on the Voice, that level of support had declined to around 60%, and was down to below 50% by July 2023, and 40% in the final vote on October 14, 2023.”
“Government and the Yes campaign were late starting, lacked information about the referendum process, lacked a 'cut-through' simple compelling explanation of the need for a Voice, and failed to win majority support from people living outside inner-metropolitan areas.”
“The No campaign, based on lies, distortions, misinformation, and a call to ignorance ("If you don't know, vote No") was effective.”
